[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr. Apocalypse:
Ahh...

watching that brought back so many memories....

i used to love kicking Bowser's ass
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zentronic:
I'm your man! Cook this up later today I'll get it up for ya if you, want to learn I'm here to help.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
thanks a lot zentronic. i actually followed your video tutorial on how to make boot animations and i was able to get one working. not the one that i want but a trial one. not very difficult at all. the problems i was having was actually getting a decent video of mario getting the 5up. i downloaded an emulator and ran through 3 levels while recording my screen. i am able to watch the video just fine in wmp or other video players but when i try to import the video into a video editor it doesnt want to show up. the screen is mostly black in the video and not usable at all. very perplexing to me and i have no idea how to remedy the situation.

the only other way that i thought of to get decent video of mario is to have the right card in your computer to plug a game system directly into it and capture that video. i currently dont have that option so i figured it would just be easier to ask.

i figured it would be much easier to capture that video and edit it than to try to create that video from scratch. i want it to look like it came from an actual NES. i love that 8-bit look, dont want it to be too cartoony or anything.

i do have a capture card lying around somewhere that i will try to find and install into my computer so i can mess with this or at least have ready for the future.

EDIT

ok found my capture card and will be installing it in just a few min. i know i can edit videos captured this way without problems (ive done it before) so hopefully i will be able to start on this animation today.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
I would like to ask in advance if i can use this in my Mario theme?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
i am making progress on my version of this. im not sure if zentronic is still planning on taking a stab at it or not. when i get mine done i would have no problem with anyone using it. zentronic seems pretty cool so i doubt he would mind either but better safe than sorry. since this is my first real boot animation it will take some time but i will work on it every chance i get...i think i want this more than anyone else. i have a video now and im in the process of editing. im not a video editor by any means so there is probably an easier way but i dont know about it so i need to take baby steps to make sure i dont screw up. please have patience with me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rel500:
hey be patient, took me about a good month to comprehend everything in regards to themeing and theres still alot that i dont know.. patience is key and thanks in advance... =)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
ill probably continually post in here to keep anyone interested up to date on my progress. im done working on it for tonight but i think i made a ton of progress today. i was thinking about possibly changing the "5UP" text to something else. maybe "booting" or something like that. id love suggestions as to what you all think could go in its place. i will make sure it looks good though so im thinking a longer phase might be a bit of an eye sore. who knows though. any suggestions will be considered and most likely tested.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
huge progress today. the video editing is going much smoother than i though it would (adobe after effects is a pretty sweet program) i should only have 2-2.5 seconds of video left to edit. i over looked that part when i was first doing all my photoshop work. so i need to go back into photoshop which will probably be the longer of the two operations. its very possible that i will get the video editing done today, just taking a break. im sure i will get back to it later. off work for two days so it should be done, at the latest, by thursday evening. now i just hope i dont run into any unforseen roadblocks. i will also post a youtube video so you guys can preview...i love when previews are included.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zentronic:
Keep at it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
ok just got my animation finished and uploaded. edited OP so check it for video and download links
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Wow that is WAAAY cooler than I thought it was going to be.

Seriously, awesome work man! :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CB620:
Its good but too much of a gap/black screen when the animation is done.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zentronic:
Wow that's looks great!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zentronic:
just need to rewrite the desc file fps from like 60 down to 30 then it will play longer
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
Looks great on the video. Great concept!

Sent via my TW Bionix imbibed with a Splash of Mario
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
I actually changed it from 60 to 70 because I thought it went too long and played to slow

I will drop it back down to 60 fps and upload that as well. let me know if it is any better

Thanks for all the positive comments!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
added 60fps video to OP

added original mario youtube video for comparison
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
added new boot animation and removed old ones

new one is

-not stretched like previous versions

-animation speed increase - not as choppy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CB620:
Works great. Better than before
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
Thanks. I'm glad people are liking it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdcooper:
Just flash the zip throgh clockwork? Still learning the ropes, sorry. But this looks really awesome. Completely unique and I want it! Ha ha
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
No! Sorry I forgot to add that to the op. NOT CWM FLASHABLE. Push into system/media and rename to bootanimation.zip
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
Is there a way to loop it to extend it?

Sent via my TW Bionix imbibed with a Splash of Mario
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
I can mess with it and try to get it to loop. I will post an update ad soon as I can
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
added looping boot animation to OP

and for those who are following this i am working on a shutdown animation. i have bionix v 1.3, im not sure if shutdown animations are compatible with the other popular roms or not. hopefully they are but shoudnt be too difficult to make any needed changes if not
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
added my new shutdown animation to OP
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RobZarzecki:
Thanks for extending and the shut down, will try these!

Sent via my TW Bionix imbibed with a Splash of Mario
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
My pleasure
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
Freaking sweet man how many 1ups do we get lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McBang2023:
any chance of this becoming flashable?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
Well I haven't looked into it because no one has asked, but since you have now I guess I will. Assuming its not too difficult of a task I could have a flashable version up later today. I will keep you posted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McBang2023:
well thank you kindly sir
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
*removed black flash from boot animation

*added flashable boot animation (looping version)

i tried to add the shutdown animation to the flashable zip but it wouldnt flash. if i get that working i will upload that aswell, as a boot&shutdown.zip
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nodyarg:
any chance someone could repost this with a working link? also will this work with other rooted phones or only vibrant?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
I don't have access to my computer right now and might not for a day or two. I will try to upload it from my phone to my dropbox. If I do then I will post a link today but I should definitely be able to get a link up by friday night at the latest.

As long as the other phones have the same file structure for but animations I see no reason why it wouldn't work but as always do this at your own risk.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
Ok here is a new link. DO NOT flash through CWM. You must push this .zip to your /system/media/ folder.

I suggest doing a nandroid backup just to be safe and I would backup the bootanimation.zip that is in there just incase you want to revert back.

I will upload the shutdown animation shortly and I will add these links to the op.

Bootanimation

***Old link removed***
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
Added new link for shutdown animation to op
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
New file uploaded (link in op). Its about 2.2mb smaller than last one and loops infinitely. Previous one only looped 10 times so long boots would result in animation stopping and you would just have a black screen. Also tweaked the animation speed just a bit.

This should be the last update hopefully
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nodyarg:
thanks man looks pretty cool on my g2x
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gdpaull:
Awesome, thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sirganon:
Np everyone. I'm glad people are liking this again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dacihappymaker:
what i must do, when my phone is bricked????? can my phone turn on again?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Please be more specific about what is wrong.

Sent from my super slick Android device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelg117:
What is the difference between bionix frost and bionic. And not just the whole 2.2 and 2.2.1 thing, but real differences. Thanks(:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:
Eh nothing you will really notice. Don't expect a feature filled update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonyoung:
Bionix-V is the older more stable version and the Bionix Frost is the newer, in Beta testing development version.

Another difference is that Bionix-V is based on the software that Samsung put on the Vibrant, while Frost is based on the software that is on the new Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Since the base for Frost was originally made for a different phone, more effort is required to make it work on the Vibrant.

--Brandon Young
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelg117:
Witch would you recommended
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonyoung:
If you want a ROM for the phone that you use daily for real work, go with Bionix-V
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:
Not disagreeing persay but Frost is just as stable. Only issue I've had is a slight menu lag.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holeblocker:
I know its semi-counter productive...

But this has to be the 3rd+ post this past weekend regarding Bionix/Frost/2.2/2.2.1

and "whats the difference" :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelg117:
I'm sorry but the only way for be to access xda is by the app ans the search function on the apologize is $hit. If it wasn't I wouldn't have posted 3/4 of what I have. But on last question, what's the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvette83:
I personally like Bionix V. Been using Team Whiskey roms for a while now and they have yet to disappoint. In the end, its just a matter of preference.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
Bionix-V seems to have very few bugs. The bugs people are reporting, most users cannot duplicate their problems. Frost, well it still needs some tweaking before it's ready as a "daily driver" as stable/fast as Bionix 1.3
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghoshhajra:
i've tried both. after enabling voodoo on the latest frost, i've noticed a considerable difference from the initial build. bionix is ULTRA stable. there is no doubt that it is the more stable of the two. however, IMHO i haven't noticed a huge difference between the speed or usability of either...if you would rather deal with less "potential" bugs, then i would suggest you go with Bionix V.
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
Hows the experience on the Inspire? Any issues?

Just wanted to find out if its worth going through the process. It seems a little more involving than other rom installations.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Works great. Sound sucks. I missed the nicer camera app so I switched back to stock rooted oc
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
Ill hold off for now then till the sound is fixed.Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The tinny sound may be fixed by Turbonium if his thread is right. I will be testing it tomorrow.

Other than that I love it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
There is nothing like CM. Smoother than anything and fast. I just applied the sound fix and its as close to stock sound as I can remember. I forsee that fix being cooked into all Inspire kernels moving forward.
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
Which version would be the best to use? I think theres like 2 or 3 plus the nightlies?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lonesomecrow:
I'm using the nightly #7 and it rocks, though there is no support on nightlies (can't file bugs), they seem to be as reliable as a stable build. If this doesn't convince you, RC 1 is also available which works just as good. BTW sound has been fixed here, I just tried it and it works as stated. The only thing I miss from a Sense based ROM is the Connected Media app to be able to watch videos on my HDTV and the Camera app, but I can live with CM7 without those apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I'm using RC1 and it's amazing.

Sent from my CM7 Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] thekurrgan:
I got the buggered cwm from another rom and almost didn't bother fixing it to get cm7.

glad I did. After flashing the latest nightly and the sound fix this is with out a doubt the best rom I've used and in general the best android platform I've used. Snappy, smooth, and as a galaxy s defector GPS and everything else simply works. Hard to believe this is an unfinished rom as its still in RC status. The guys building this thing obviously know wtf they are doing.

I recommended any one who has an inspire flash this ROM.

Sent from Inspire 4g CM7 nightly 8.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lonesomecrow:
I second this. I have no clue as to why it would be called RC if it feels like premium quality software.
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
I flashed it a couple hours ago.Im gonna give it more time but I really want to go back to Coredroid. It feels about the same on the speed and smooth factor but without the sense I kinda feel like I was back on my captivate.Sense has me sold I think.
[HTC Inspire 4G] plmiller0905:
I see a lot of posts here about CM 7, so are people just flashing CM 7 that's for the Desire HD or is it one specifically for the Inspire? Just wondering because I ordered an Atrix and I don't see as much development going on for it when compared to the development for the Inspire. But maybe that has to do with the locked boatloader. I'm going to test it and out for a day or two and if it's not up to my standards, I'm going to exchange it for the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
The Desire HD one, I am using Nightly 8 with TurboniumX's audio fix. Works like a champ.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glitterbug:
search "twonky mobile" in the market place. It will let you beam stuff from your phone to the a dlna\upnp tv or other device (ps3\xbox etc).
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I'm curious if there's an app that'll track\report data usage, and break it down between wifi and gprs\cellular data. I'm using my Inspire 4G on a network that doesn't provide me usage reporting, so I'm curious if "there's an app for that" hehe

Thanks!

PS - I'm rooted so if it's a root-needing app that's fine too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] URPREY:
This works great for me

http://android.roysolberg.com/datacounter/
[HTC Inspire 4G] jasonyump:
Search the market for "PhoneUsage"
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I'll try both and compare, thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] JWGWulff:
Not an app, but if you want to know where your at for your data usage dial, *3282# and you will be sent a message with how much you have used.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
If I was on ATT I would do that or just login to my online account... I have an unmetered data provider, who doesn't report back usage, so I just want a way to know for my own curiosity.

Thanks :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ngravatt:
Data counter widget by Roy Solberg is pretty cool.

keeps up with daily, weekly, and monthly data usage for wifi vs cellular.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah I just got it... works great thanks!

3g watchdog works great too
[HTC Inspire 4G] echoone:
I've been using DroidStats for a couple days now. Seems to work well but I may try some others to compare.
[HTC Inspire 4G] killster:
I have the APk from my old Samsung galaxy tab. Its a widget that shows your live data usage. I'm not sure about the legality of posting the apk here if anyone wants it shoot me a pm. Seems to work well on any system I've tried it on.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
The free "Traffic Monitor" widget from the market isn't bad. It shows wi-fi vs OTA traffic with upstream, downstream, and total data used. It also breaks the data down by individual apps and does have a built-in speedtest.

Sent from my TPC Rom/Buzz Kernel-powered Inspire 4G using the XDA Premium App.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
There is a monitor application that comes on the MIUI rom that does this. You could probably pull the apk from the rom if you don't want to use MIUI. Or it could be a market app for all I know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
Data counter widget.

Is there anyway you can delete all of the email located in the trash folder without having to go throught and do it one by one
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zmaina5:
!Ok, I was downloading a new rom earlier and for no apparent reason it said that the download was unsuccessful and my 3g signal at the top was off.:eek::mad:

Is there anyway I can keep the download constantly going or leep the service from turning off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Your 3G shouldn't toggle off...unless you were in a really poor area, unless you were on 4G and it went out. You can add the data toggle to the notification bar, check it on, and it should be good...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zmaina5:
I did that and my 3g stays on but it still won't finish my downloads
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Toggle it on/off and try it again. If that doesn't work, a reboot should do the trick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zmaina5:
Thanks, it finished after the reboot.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:

[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] TheSonicEmerald:
Just wanted to know how Dungeon Defenders plays on the XOOM with the new Tegra2, Honeycomb optimized update the just appeared on the Market. I'm very interested in how well it runs.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] iamsupreme:
For whatever reason, I'm unable to install the update. The update option is there but I get an error when I try to install the update.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sarxs:
I bought Dungeon Defenders for the phone when it was released and was pretty indifferent.

On the Xoom though its awesome.

I'm not super far into the game, but I haven't had any slow downs or problems.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBalz:
Fun game. I've burned over an hour on it easily...

I think I've gotten 3-4 updates already for it so it's getting good attention which is nice.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] joereist:
Not my type of game, but I had fun with it.

Performed great though, great graphics and no slowdown.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Arcadia310:
Check out my YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoJeE7lb0bA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Dungeon Defenders runs great on the Xoom. The experience is much better with the added screen space of a tablet.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] TheSonicEmerald:
I saw that, but I wanted to see how the game plays now with the new 3.0 optimized version.
